today's trivial Star Trek inconsistency(?) fixation: what is the relationship between costumes + holosuite capabilities. by and large (all the time? with a single weird exception?) it seems like holosuites cannot provide costumes, right, because everyone enters in them. but. sometimes (Garak in OMB, but is that the only one?) they can??

#I can't think of any other example but I definitely don't remember any TNG/VOY holosuite episodes that well #it's the second most annoying garak costume wtf lol #the first being Past Prologue where the episode unquestionably spans two adjacent days and the costume never changes #but that's a) theoretically explicable in-universe and b) totally forgivable logistically #OMB drives me up the wall because it's so unnecessary and so casual #and utterly impossible to square with the otherwise pretty solid(?) assumption that everyone wears the silly costumes irl for sound reason #it's not his program so there can't be any sort of storage system happening; it fits so cannot possibly be Julian's etc etc #ANYWAY this is for a totally unrelated fic where I'd *like* to be able to pull an 'oh no we forgot swimsuits' move lol #but OMB is just sittin there in the back of my head going. but. how.#ds9 tag
